Ok...so I kinda knew I wasn't gonna make my recommittment amount for the LLS Team In Training by the due date. What did I do about it? I completely corrupted all my good eating habits and didn't workout or run for 2 solid weeks. I'm claiming that its how a (this) runner sulks (if a runner sulks at all)!So Monday, I got back on track with a new run group that will meet for 10 weeks and Oh. My. God. I thought I was gonna die! No exercise for 2 weeks=body revolt! So, to continue on the right track, I went out today for my 2nd of 4 runs this week.
If one thing could go wrong, everything would go wrong. I must have made every faux pas a runner could in one short 3 mile run. Lemme see...I had make-up on, wore a white shirt (you can see said make-up on said white shirt) and it rained, no wait...it poured! For mile 0-1, it drizzled and I thought I had plenty of time as I looked at the sky. By mile 1-2, I found myself thinking about the last time I ran in the rain because by now it was more than a drizzle (and the answer to the last time was high school) and how awesome it felt. However, during mile 2-3, the thunder and lightening made it not so awesome and of course it was a steady down pour by now. Remember the make-up I said I was wearing? Yeah, me too as the rain and sweat dripped mascara into my eyes. When athletes talk about the burn they feel, I'm pretty sure it's not because they wore mascara! So I tried my best to get my hiney in gear and out of the lightening and rain and to the safety of the car.
So overall, not a bad run-3 miles in just over 37 minutes...just a very wet one that bordered on crazy. Oh, to be one of the crazies! 'Til next time.
